Is there any reason to buy this if you have an Apple TV box? I have a Panasonic TC-L47E50 and am new to all this.

Is the Panasonic TC-L47E50 a Smart TV? The Wireless Adapter is used to be able to connect to the internet through wifi instead of an ethernet cable. If you're TV is a Smart TV, & needs to be connected to the internet in order to access the Panasonic App Store, I would recommend using the Wireless Adapter. HOWEVER, if the Apple TV box can/will completely connect the TV to the internet, then I don't think you would need to purchase the adapter.

You only need this adapter if you want your tv to be the device that communicates with your internet network and be able to connect to the internt. If you have a device such as a blue ray or other component that connects to the internet you should be able to send the internet video feed from your device to your tv through and hdmi cord. With that said, I like being able to connect to the internet without having to worry about having any other device on (one less thing to go wrong and worry about). The wireless adapter is fast and allows me to stream movies no problem.

If you have an Apple TV the only reason would be to control your Tv from the iPhone/iPod. Not much else. The Apple TV does everything pretty well. That said the iPhone app allows you to stream pictures and type directly. The phone does not turn on or off the TV so not much work there. If it were my choice I'd just use the Apple TV.

If you can connect to the Internet thru Apple TV then you probably don't need this. I didn't hav Apple TV or any other box to connect so it was a reasonably priced quick way for me to connect to my wifi network. Also with this you can connect directly to Amazon and wtch movies or TV in Prime or even not prime. I can download Amazon app to my iPad but I'm not sure how it works with Apple TV.

not really, I wouldn't recommend that unless if you want your TV to be connected to the internet when your Apple TV box is switched off.

you don't need this wireless adapter. if you have a dvd player you probably already have wireless connection tothe tv. you only need this if you want to stream movies from netflix, etc directly to your tv.

I didn't research it too much, but that is what I determined to be the difference, connect Apple TV (anyways), then you don't need the wireless adapter...my Smart TV also has wireless that doesn't get used...

The first generation Apple TV has RCA audio outs, which could be connected to the RCA inputs of the T30. The 2nd and 3rd generation devices only have HDMI and optical outputs; this device lacks a corresponding input. The 2nd and 3rd generation Apple TV does have a micro-USB port so someone with the right skillset might be able to "hack" this to work with the USB input on the TP30, but this would be advanced ninja hacking so definitely not a "plug and play" solution.

Read the reviews on BOTH of the adapters I see suggested here. I, PERSONALLY, would NOT buy either of them.! Get an Apple 30 pin to Lightning adapter. You will pay lots more for it, but you are getting what you paid for.

I connected this to my TIVO which is connected to my Samsung TV which works great connecting to router. Not sure about connecting to Apple TV but suggest you ask this question on TIVO chat.

Mine didn't work at all, and I needed to pay for shipment back to the vendor. The vendor also grudgingly admitted to me that they have had similar experiences with this manufacturer, to which I asked, so why do you keep carrying this? If it worked at all, it should have worked with Apple TV with the connectors.

No. I bought this thinking the same thing, but it doesn't work that easy. You have to buy an adapter that costs like $50 and some other cable as well. Might be better off buying a small flatscreen than trying that. Wish the company would have been honest about that--I emailed them and asked and was told there would be no problem, but Apple told me it's impossible.

That doesn't have anything to do with this adapter, that's something with your Apple TV, and my recommendation is resetting it, and trying it again. Also, check to see which wireless band you are using 5GHz or 2.4, not knowing which apple TV you have or your wireless settings, it will be very difficult to help you.

Yup. That was my entire reason for the purchase. I use it with my Apple TV and ROKU media streamers. Works great!

I lost mine as well, then i figured to buy it from Amazon, so I purchased mine which is the same as the picture and worked right a way. Didn't need any installation. It seems they already linked it up to the apple tv.

Sorry. I don't have an apple tv system. It works wonderfully with MBA 2013 to HDTV. I watch hulu and Netflix all the time using it.

There is an optical output on the back of the tv that looks like a stereo connector. It will be labeled when you tale a look back there. Works good with the apple tv.

No, you can't. I tried it from the apple TV to the HDTV, and noting was coming out. I also tried it with other combinations. Nothing. I Don't recommend this product. It was too late when I found out and I could no longer do a return. I ended up throwing it.

You can use EX2 for your iTunes Library with out any doubt. As far as using this for your Apple TV in other rooms I cannot answer that question, my apologies.

Not sure about the Apple TV. I've never used this cable before this. I just wasn't getting audio from my tv to my sound bar when using my chrome cast. So I bought this cord and connected it and it works great. Sorry I'm not much help.
